Re: Dwayne Bowe arrested for Weed and speeding

Does this make Bowe a...

ummmm.....

possession receiver?

The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
I'm (maybe) back after being repetedly banned, merely for supporting a different NFL team than do certain forum moderators.

Re: Dwayne Bowe arrested for Weed and speeding

The guy has been a total bust on mine. He was able to put up good numbers with crappy QBs. I figured with Reid and Smith he would do even better, but the guy has been completely invisible in almost every game. Between him and Jackson it is a miracle I am 5-5. Thank you Peyton and Megatron.

Re: Dwayne Bowe arrested for Weed and speeding

This past November, Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe was pulled over in Missouri, allegedly for driving 48 in a 35. Detecting a “strong odor of marijuana”, the K-9 officer searched the vehicle and found what he was looking for.

Speaking with Kansas City’s 810 WHB yesterday, Bowe theorized that he was targeted for reasons other than speeding (via Chiefs Spin):

“I mean everybody, people close around me and my team and the organization know I had nothing to do with that. I was being profiled and it will all come to light in February. It wasn’t a distraction because my teammates know and my family knows. Like I said, I was being watched and being followed. Like I said, that’s how it goes sometimes when you got the millions behind your name.”
Bowe was previously suspended for four games in 2009 for violating the NFL’s PED policy; any discipline for this particular incident would be separately categorized as a substance-abuse violation.

Re: Dwayne Bowe arrested for Weed and speeding

Lol you're saying you were profiled, but you still had weed in your car. So it's your fault, quit trying to blame it on other ppl. I could care less if athletes smoke bud, but driving around with it is another thing. That's just stupid. When I smoked when I was younger even I didn't bring it in my car with me except from my dealers house to straight home. People riding around smoking are just asking to get caught.

Dwayne Bowe walks back comments about being profiled before pot arrest

In January, Chiefs wide receiver Dwayne Bowe said during a radio interview that he felt he was profiled by police when he was arrested in November on marijuana possession charges.

Bowe was pulled over for speeding when police said they smelled marijuana in his car and subsequently found two containers with a little more than 10 grams of pot between them. The case is making its way through the system, with an April 16 court date looming and Bowe’s attorney filing a motion to suppress evidence found during the search, and Bowe took a moment Friday to release a statement through his lawyer walking back his previous comments.

“I just wanted to clear up a few things regarding the Riverside incident,” Bowe said in the statement, via the Kansas City Star. “I don’t believe I was racially profiled by the Riverside police department. I believe I was pulled over for speeding. I have seen the police reports and videos given to my attorney in this case, and I want people to know I was treated with courtesy and respect by the police. I regret speeding in Riverside and have driven through Riverside many times since Nov. 10 without a problem.”

Bowe is coming off a year that saw him catch 57 passes for 673 yards, the lowest yards per catch of his career, and said earlier this offseason that he wants to work on his endurance after feeling tired as the season wound down. Getting more from Bowe on the field and keeping things quiet off the field would be a big benefit for the Chiefs, who would also get a boost by adding a complement to Bowe in the draft.

“Like others charged with speeding and possessing marijuana for the first time, Mr. Bowe pleaded guilty to amended charges,” city prosecutor Amy Ashefford told the Kansas City Star, adding that Bowe was treated no better or worse than anyone facing similar charges.

Bowe said in January that he thought he was racially profiled, but last week he released a statement saying the police had treated him fairly.

Now the question is how the league office will treat Bowe. A marijuana offense typically results in a one-game suspension, although littering and “defective equipment” may not be enough to get Bowe in any type of trouble. Still, the fact that this case started with a marijuana arrest could result in Bowe being placed in the league’s substance-abuse program.

Re: Dwayne Bowe arrested for Weed and speeding

It doesn't this got major coverage and rightfully so at the time anyways. I don't recall anyone saying that Bowe needed help over it. Not that I think smoking pot is really worse than drinking alcohol yet that's more socially acceptable despite worse side effects.

Re: Dwayne Bowe arrested for Weed and speeding

I bet when Irsay pleads down to lesser charges, there will be accusations of preferential treatment due to him being an old white guy. I'll make a sig calling myself the stupidest person on PD, or whatever publicly "embarassing" thing someone can come up with.

Racism charges never fail. (Not that I deny racism exists, it does)

Who happens to be incredibly wealthy he'll probably get probation at most. I don't see him getting anything worse unless something major comes out

and the reason you were always able to make it home to your house safely is cause you weren't profiled...

He was pulled over because of speeding. Not because he's black. Plus you deserve to get arrested if your speeding even 1 mph over the limit knowing you have weed in your car. I got arrested when I was 18 because I was high as hell and driving like 6-7 mph over the limit and had weed in the car. I definitely deserved it and never got in trouble with the law ever again after that.
